OnlineHawk USB 3.1 Front Panel Header to Type-C Female Extension Cable 40cm with Panel Mount Screw

SKU CH-XNGG-BE9S2

Connects a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header to a Type-C female port with a 40 cm panel-mount cable

  • Connection typeMini USB to USB A
  • Adds a front USB-C port using a 40 cm internal cable
  • Connects directly to a USB 3.1 front-panel header on the motherboard
  • Panel-mount screw holes let you secure the port to the case
  • Type-C female connector accepts reversible USB-C plugs
  • Backwards compatible with USB 3.0 devices via the same pin set

Purpose and audience

This 40 cm cable adapts a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header to a panel-mount Type-C female port. It suits builders adding a modern front-panel USB-C connection to cases that only provide the older header style. The screw-mount flange secures the port in a standard cut-out.

Thermals noise and power

The passive cable adds no active cooling, fan noise or measurable power draw. Signal integrity follows the USB 3.1 host controller limits; no extra thermal load is introduced inside the chassis. Operation stays silent because there are no moving parts.

Upgrade context

Replaces a USB 3.0 front-panel cable when the motherboard exposes a 3.1 header such as those on Z270 boards. The jump is worth it when the case front panel needs a Type-C port but the board header pin-out differs from the older 3.0 layout. Builders staying with USB 3.0 headers gain no benefit.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB 3.1 front panel header to my motherboard?

Align the header connector with the motherboard's USB 3.1 front panel header, matching the keyed pin layout; the USB 3.1 header uses the USB 3.0 pin set with additional pins, so orientation matters.

What upkeep does the Type-C female port need over time?

Keep the port free of dust and debris; if the spring contacts lose tension from repeated insertions, the cable assembly would need replacement.

What length limit affects signal quality on this 40cm cable?

The 40cm length stays within the USB 3.1 front panel header reach; longer runs can introduce signal loss at 3.1 speeds.
